I dont know about a trunk lid spoiler but I do have a rear window spoiler that we applied with 3M tape and it has held up great, just had to make sure the area was clean.

I got mine from Paradox also...decent product, no modification needed to install. 3M tape is the way to go. ::knock on wood:: but what if your back window were to get broken somehow...you're going to have to probably break the spoiler to get it off if you glue it to the car. Had mine on since May with 3M doublesided tape, been thru probably 50 car washes or more, horrible weather here in NY and STILL no problems with just the 3M. Goodluck.

Here's mine. Windshield epoxy holding it on. It ID, not Paradox but I think they are very similar. Don't have any more recent pics than when it was installed.

I used 3m on my custom roof spoiler. The key is to prep the glass.

Once I get my car (rear bumper being replaced) I will drop it off at another shop to have both roof and roof spoiler painted black. Should look sick.

Not sure, I have the one Jose sells from Ionic Dynamics, can't wait to see how awesome it will look tomorrow, I didn't get a CF one although the quality is excellent from the ones I have seen, I want mine to custom match my cars new roof color (onyx black) .

It's going to look sick, I loved the look of it on the other Max owner who did his, IMO I think this paint scheme only looks good on a light colored or red car...

Yes as late as 6PM. A tip is to clean the glass with a razor and rubbing alcohol. Then warm up with mating surfaces with a hair dryer before applying the 3M tape. Warming the tape before application is also recommended in colder weather.

Sorry, just got back from the body shop and the work on the front bumper is a little more extensive then planned. Instead of rushing for the sake of pictures or a post, I'm leaving the car in the shop till next Thursday to ensure a quality job.

I've worked with this shop before and they always go above and beyond to do a quality job on my ride because they know it's a show car. Anyway, next week people...

I think so too. Got a little pissed today because my car isn't going to be ready as promised. I was hoping to pick it up on Friday and drop it right off at the other place. Picking it next week complicates things a lot but it should be done withing a week or two. Can't wait!
